was surprising. but the most remarkable thing
was that we carried Virginia by two thousand;
by the eerrymander the Democrats secured the
popular vote. The corrected returns give the
Democrats New York by $4,000. This is only
1000 more than Hill got last year. In view Of
the fact that the Democrats spent 81 000, 900 in
a corruption fund to carry the State. they've
bought costly whistle. Unless Scott, the

A Parrot Saves a Kittens Life.

John Gaffuey, for ten years collector
of revenue for Hudson City, owns q par
rot and kitten, neither of which can
to-day be bought for money. The other
morning the kitten emerged from the
kitchen of Mr.. Gaffncys place of busi-
ness at the corner of Montgomery street
and West side avenue, and at once
started game of tag with the parrot
which was on the top of his cage. The
parrot promptly responded and for few
minutes fur and feathers flew around in
a lively way. A heavy left handler from
the kitten, however, was suddenly
missed as the counter from the parrot
and the pair dropped into atub filled
with water Animal AMI bird disap-
pearedbeneath the su: face and as prompt
ly showed up. But the kitten appeared
to have lost all control OF itself, where
as the parrot kept its self possession.
Catching the tub with one Of its power
fuI claws the parrot reached over and Sc
sured the kitten in the nape Of its neck
with its beak and dropped it to the floor
Then reaching down as far as possible,
the parrot secured hold on the outside
of the tub and gradually lowered him
self. The rescue was seen by number
of friends visiting the house, but wher
one gentleman offered to pay Mr. Gaff
ney reasonable price for bird and kit
ten the owner declined to sell at any
price i New York World.
